The health and well-being of our participants, attendees,and the communities we visit are our foremost concern. Like you, we are continuously monitoring the latest information from local, state and federal authorities. We continue to carefully evaluate the potential impact that this national health crisis presents. As you know, we are celebrating our 30th year in Ocean City, MD. Over the years we have experienced a great many weather related obstacles. The last few years have also seen a rise in outside influences that have caused some undue attention. Together we have weathered the storm and the turbulent times to make our event even stronger for the years to come. Although the next few weeks will be complicated for all of us, please know that we are moving forward with planning Cruisin 2020 as scheduled May 14-17.
